that and I would presume with as much floor space as you seem to have infront of it you will put a table in the area infront of the island and fireplace ? but if you really have to try to minimze it then dont you see how whether red or brighter white by it standing out from the cabinets you make it " pop" your painting is actually making it bigger than life, paint the cupboards all bright white to match the island and fireplace color now, then if you really want to minimize the fireplace paint it the off or antique white < less brilliant than the cupboards island etc > will make them more the focus and it less focused at a low cost
